Project Overview
This project reimagines the intersection of material science and design, drawing inspiration from brutalist architecture, particularly cement-based structures, to create knitted textiles that resist wear and water exposure. The aim is to develop materials that inherently reduce waste, leveraging the physical properties of materials to create durable, functional garments.
My Contributions
As part of my individual research under Genspace and the FIT Portfolio Immersive program, I am exploring the intersection of material science and design, with a focus on creating sustainable, functional textiles. The project reimagines knitted garments as materials that are inherently resistant to wear and water exposure, inspired by brutalist cement-based architecture. This approach aims to reduce waste by leveraging the physical properties of materials themselves, rather than relying on external coatings or treatments.
